This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Germany.

📋 Description

• Create automations for clients, beginning with the initial prototype and continuing through production deployment and ongoing operations.

• Design integrations between ERP systems, specialized applications, learning platforms, databases, and email systems.

• Develop custom connectors and translation layers for systems lacking usable interfaces.

• Utilize RPA as an alternative solution.

• Automate entire workflows, including transitions between departments.

• Employ n8n, custom services, and existing tools at the customer's disposal.

• Analyze, construct, test, deploy, and support your own projects from start to finish.

• Collaborate directly with business teams, IT departments, and occasionally with executive management.

• Incorporate AI into the development process and products, such as for processing emails, PDFs, and documents.

• Contribute to shaping architectural and technological decisions.

• Work in close partnership with Lead Engineers on customer projects.

• Take charge of your responsibilities and, depending on the scope, assume project leadership.

• Grasp processes in mid-sized companies, recognize improvement opportunities, and automate appropriate workflows.

• Willingness to critically evaluate the value and business justification of an automation.

• Curiosity and a thoughtful mindset toward adopting new technologies.

• Strong communication skills for direct interaction with customers.
